Rose Parade 2009

Got me a press pass to the 2009 Rose Parade.
Lucky me --I have good friends.


Was there at 5am.

With thousands of people lined up, waiting waiting sleeping BBQing fighting peeing reading watching

you name it they were doing it.

And then the floats came. Some amazing stuff. And some "what were you thinking" moments floated by as well.

If I only had a brain.

Discovered that when the set it lit it is pretty damn easy to get good lighting.


A yoga video with a band in back.

On stage at one of the larger studio lots in LA back in 2006.

Had no lights on camera--just used what was available from the video production.


Fun day. Can see why some photographers exclusively do this kind of work.
